How come everytime I contribute a certain pokestop, even its legits af. It always says that its fake and not permanent. How do you do your reviews? Google map of 2009? Its 2025 lots have changed. Locations and murals. So disappointing.
If you post screenshots of your nominations including the entire contribution including rejection reasons and location, we may be able to help you improve them if they are indeed legit.

I don’t want to pile on the replies before you have a chance to get back, but I want to say I’m sorry you’re having a bad experience and wish you were popping in with better circumstances.
Reviewers will see exactly what is presented on existing Satellite and Google Maps Street View. You can usually look at this yourself to preview what a reviewer will see and usually use a Supporting photo that can provide context that is lacking on Google.
You were given feedback on an example you provided, previously. Have you tried resubmitting that?
The rejection message I think you are getting doesn’t necessarily mean what you think. “not permanent and distinct” comes up in three situations:
- reviewers did not think the object is permanent
- reviewers did not think the object is distinct
- reviewers did not think the object meets any criteria (exercise, explore, social) and wanted to explicitly reject it, so reject for not “permanent and distinct” because that is the advice from Niantic
